May anyone give me an example of a independent and an dependent probability word problem about food?

Certainly! Here's an example of an independent probability word problem about food:

Problem: In a bag of assorted candies, there are 5 blue candies, 3 red candies, and 2 green candies. What is the probability of selecting a red candy and then a green candy, if the candies are replaced after each selection?

Solution: To find the probability of the independent events - selecting a red candy and then a green candy - we multiply the probabilities of each event.

Probability of selecting a red candy = 3/10

Probability of selecting a green candy = 2/10

Since the candies are replaced after each selection, the probability of selecting a red candy and then a green candy is:

(3/10) * (2/10) = 6/100 = 3/50

So, the probability of selecting a red candy and then a green candy is 3/50.

Now, let's move on to a dependent probability word problem about food:

Problem: In a fruit basket, there are 4 oranges, 6 apples, and 2 bananas. What is the probability of selecting 2 oranges in a row, without replacement?

Solution: To find the probability of dependent events - selecting 2 oranges in a row without replacement - we need to adjust the probabilities for each event based on the previous selections.

Probability of selecting the first orange = 4/12

After selecting the first orange, there are now 11 fruits left in the basket, with 3 oranges remaining.

Probability of selecting the second orange = 3/11

Since the fruits are not replaced after each selection, the probability of selecting 2 oranges in a row is:

(4/12) * (3/11) = 12/132 = 3/33

So, the probability of selecting 2 oranges in a row, without replacement, is 3/33.
